c. When correct input is obtained, replace caps that
conceal gas valve regulator adjustment screws.
Main burner flame should be clear blue, almost
transparent (See Figure 53)
d. Remove jumpers R to W/W1 and R to W2.
5. Verify natural gas input rate by clocking meter.
a. Turn off all other gas appliances and pilots served
by the meter.
b. Move setup switch SW12 to ON position. This
keeps furnace locked in lowheat operation.
c. Jumper R to W/W1.
d. Run furnace for 3 minutes in lowheat operation.
e. Measure time (in sec) for gas meter to complete 1
revolution and note reading. The 2 or 5 cubic feet
dial provides a more accurate measurement of gas
flow.
f. Refer to Table 13 for cubic ft. of gas per hr.
g. Multiply gas rate cu ft./hr by heating value (Btuh/cu
ft.) to obtain input. If clocked rate does not match
required input from Step 1, increase manifold pres-
sure to increase input or decrease manifold pres-
sure to decrease input. Repeat steps b through e
until correct lowheat input is achieved. Reinstall
low heat regulator seal cap on gas valve.
h. Move setup switch SW12 to OFF position and
jumper R to W/W1, and W2. This keeps furnace
locked in highheat operation. Repeat items d
through g for highheat operation.
6. Set Temperature Rise
NOTE: Blower access door must be installed when taking
temperature rise reading. Leaving blower access door off will
result in incorrect temperature measurements.
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in shorten
furnace life.
Set air temperature rise within limits specified on the
rating plate to prevent reduced life of furnace
components. Operation is within a few degrees of the
midpoint of rise range when setup switch SW14 is
OFF.
CAUTION
!
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in overheating
the heat exchangers or condensing flue gases in heat
exchanger areas not designed for condensate.
Temperature rise must be within limits specified on
unit rating plate. Operation is within a few degrees of
midpoint of rise range when setup switch SW14 is
OFF.
CAUTION
!
When setup switch SW14 is ON, operation will be near the
high end of the rise range for improved comfort.
Furnace must operate within ranges of temperature rise
specified on the furnace rating plate. Determine air
temperature rise as follows:
a. Place thermometers in return and supply ducts as
near furnace as possible. Be sure thermometers do
not see heat exchanger so that radiant heat does
not affect readings. This practice is particularly im-
portant with straightrun ducts.
b. When thermometer readings stabilize, subtract re-
turnair temperature from supplyair temperature to
determine air temperature rise.
NOTE: Temperature rise can be determined for lowheat
operation by placing setup switch SW12 on furnace control
in ON position. For highheat operation, place setup switch
SW12 in OFF position and jumper RW2 on furnace control.
DO NOT forget to return setup switch to OFF position and
remove RW2 jumper upon completion of testing.
c. This furnace is capable of automatically providing
proper airflow to maintain the temperature rise with-
in the range specified on furnace rating plate. If
temperature rise is outside this range, proceed as
follows:
(1.) Check gas input for low and highheat opera-
tion.
(2.) Check derate for altitude if applicable.
(3.) Check all return and supply ducts for excessive
restrictions causing static pressure greater than
0.5In. W.C..
(4.) Ensure Low Heat Rise Adjust switch SW13
on furnace control is in ON position when a
bypass humidifier is used. (See Figure 26 for
switch location.)
(5.) Make sure proper model plug is installed.
d. Remove thermostat jumpers and release blower
access door switch.
e. Repeat Steps a through c as required to adjust for
high heat temperature rise.
f. When correct high heat input rate and temperature
rise is achieved, turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to
OFF.
g. Release blower access door switch.
h. Remove manometer or similar device from gas
valve.
i. Reinstall manifold pressure tap plug in gas valve.
(See Figure 48)
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, and/or property damage.
Reinstall manifold pressure tap plug in gas valve to
prevent gas leak.
!
WARNING
j. Remove thermostat jumper wire from furnace con-
trol board.
k. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to ON.
FURNACE OVERHEATING HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced
furnace life.
Recheck temperature rise. It must be within limits
specified on the rating plate. Recommended
operation is at the midpoint of rise range or slightly
above.
